The desert rock scene is legendary. Now a new generation wants its turn.

Palm Desert was named one of the top seven rock n’ roll cities in America by Blender magazine in 2003. But that was a bit of a misnomer. That “Palm Desert” scene featured bands from throughout the Coachella Valley. Its “godfather,” Mario Lalli Jr., grew up in Palm Springs and La Quinta. Its major bands, including the Joshua Homme-led Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, emerged from nomadic generator-powered parties in the wilderness a decade earlier.

That's exactly what's planned for three Coachella Valley groups in an upcoming event designed to unify the local music scene. Paul McCartney guitarist and Palm Springs resident Brian Ray , along with local musician Matt King, will present the new showcase "Desert Scene" on Friday, Nov. 20 at The Plaza Theatre, featuring Cafe Canela , Burgundy Blues , and Giselle Woo and the Night Owls . During a recent interview at The Plaza Theatre, King described the opportunity to work with Ray on putting together the show as "such an honor." "When Brian reached out with this opportunity, I was so taken aback. I mean, this stage has been for legends. This stage has been for artists that people are traveling to see, and the fact that a local stage here is actually giving the opportunity to local bands is something that really doesn't happen too often here in the desert. That's why we've had so many ebbs and flows in the success of our local scene here," King said. Ray said it feels like

For nearly a decade, the California Online Media Program for Access and Student Success (COMPASS) has provided CA students with free access to vetted online resources. On June 29, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the CA 2026-27 budget, no longer allocating an annual $5.5 million to research databases provided by COMPASS, set to go into effect on July 1, 2027.
